You'd have thought they might take heed when the same tactics were used against Trump, and only proved to bolster his support.

You think that prosecuting criminals is "tactics."

When asked about the charges during an interview with Times Radio following the verdict, Gollnisch said: “Jesus Christ also was found guilty and he was innocent" - when asked for further comment, Gollnisch said...

I wonder how the Bra Baroness is getting on.

Has she been arrested or charged, or sued?
